What's up you guys? Welcome to Fightful. Sean Rossap here with a name, you know. How could you not? I think that he or maybe his lovely wife, Deanna, are number one all time on the most interviewed at Fightful list at this point.

here you're going to see him november 29th and winston salem at turning point against josh

alexander i will be there very excited to see this in person at wrestlecade uh steve how you doing

man i'm good man pump for wrestlecade we were just chatting off off screen, but excited for the holiday and then just ready to get back to work.

What are your holiday plans? And I mean, we were talking a little bit about the travel, but how is the travel for the household of a wrestling family?

Busy. It's been busy, but it's been pretty good. Up in Newark this past week at full gear was a lot of fun to just kind of see everybody behind the scenes and then be able to just be there to support my wife and just watch her in front of our hometown crowd in Newark at Prudential was pretty cool and then having the in-laws there and just it's a good time.

It is a good time. What was that reception like for you backstage? Like I, Danny Cage, for example, I know saw you and chatted with you, Monster Factory brother there, but how was that for you?

Oh, it's good. I love going backstage just to see everybody I haven't seen in a while. And it's, I've seen everybody from every different locker room and from everywhere around the wrestling community. So it's just fun. And then I also kind of just go and hide too. I like to sneak out and watch the show live just because it's also not my locker room, not my place. So it's just one of those things that I try to, I'm there for my wife at that moment, not there to just be anything else. I'd then just support my wife and be there.

A lot of times I'll get pictures from fans and they'll be like,

did you know, Steve Macklin's here?

Why is he here?

Just because I'm there.

My wife works there.

I know.

Most obvious reason, yes.

So, like, that was actually when I solicited questions from fans.

They're like, what is it like being in a two promotion household?

Because you all have been that a number of different times.

I mean, you all have worked together before, obviously, but you guys are always very supportive of each other.

I mean, Deanna has been backstage at T&A shows.

Obviously, she knows people there.
